In some countries items with swastikas are banned and no sale of such items are allowed. By not using the swastika they are trying to have the largest possible sales market

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that squadron did. As for that particular company and their line of aircraft, I have seen them and they are pretty good looking. In fact with just a little touch up, you can almost make a museum quality piece out of them. Well worth the cost.
